An Exciting End to a Week!

Greetings! Happy Friday! Today was quite an exciting day in first grade. The students were full of excitement and energy today. That enthusiasm really made the day go fast. 

We began our day by going to Mass. Today Msgr. talked about St. Charles and how we helped found the seminaries. We continue to pray for more vocations to the priesthood and religious life. 

When we returned to the classroom, we began with Language Arts class. We wrapped up our week of learning. We reviewed short u, contractions, and our sight words. We wrote sentences with our sight words and took our weekly assessment. We also reviewed singular and plural nouns and practiced using them in sentences. Finally, in conjunction with our essential questions for the week, the students drew a building and labeled all the materials they would need to build it. 

In Math class today we practiced solving a problem by using logical reasoning. And in Science class, we talked about the difference between living and nonliving things. The students worked in groups to sort picture cards into the two groups. They also drew pictures of living and nonliving things. 

We ended our day with Art class. I have been waiting a year to do this one ever since I found it on Pinterest last December. Today we made Indian corn using candy corn. The students glued corn ears and husks to construction paper. They then filled in the corn with candy corn. They turned out awesome. I'll post pictures on Monday once all of the messy glue has dried. 

Enjoy your weekend!
